Sunday Worship: 6pm Evensong using Book of Common Prayer (BCP)

Our normal pattern of Services is:

  • 1st, 2nd and 3rd Sundays the service is BCP Evensong at 6pm.
  • 4th Sunday the service is BCP Holy Communion at 6pm
  • 5th Sunday (when one occurs) is often a Benefice Service when all congregations in the Benefice gather together at one of the four churches for a service of Holy Communion at 10:30 am.
  • Occasionally the pattern is changed and a Benefice service is held for special reasons

Our winter time change experiment was a success and service time will change with the clock each year. 6:00pm in summer time and  4:00pm in winter time

The setting for the weekly evening service is quite idyllic and full of charm. Wully Perks, a local lay reader, Who takes our services regularly, is shown preaching at the celebration of the anniversary of the death of William Tyndale who lived and worked next door at  Little Sodbury Manor House. It was during his time there that God called him to translate and publish the first Bible in the English language – a cause that led to his untimely death a few years later.
